Getting to spend a morning with this family for their son’s 6-month session was just the sweetest.  It reminded me of what that phase is like and it was a treat to get lost in the moments as I edited their session.  I have photos of my boys at this age and it’s a good thing, because they help me remember those sweet moments (and some of the struggles, to be honest!)  Take a look with me and be reminded that life is sweet.

This first image was mom and dad’s (and my) favorite and it’s a composite.  The original image had dad looking at the camera, totally natural when you’re being photographed right?  But in that moment, something sweet was happening between baby and mom, so I edited dad’s face from another photo where he was looking at them, because that draws the attention to this incredibly sweet moment.  And dad felt awkward being the only one looking at the camera!

We took some time for individual portraits with each parent and I generally encourage the other parent to stand near the camera and encourage their baby.  The love they have for this little guy was so endearing.

We have a Belly and Beyond plan for families who want to capture their baby’s growth throughout the first 18 months.  I can’t wait to this family’s next session.  If you are expecting or already have your baby, I’d love to talk with you about capturing this sweet time in your family!  Please reach out here.
